Chapter 65 I only want to marry you
Baozhu looked at Xie Qingran and took a deep breath: "Miss, what should we do now?"
"Now go and get me a whole pork knuckle to eat."
Xie Qingran spoke with a straight face.
"yes!"
Baozhu immediately agreed, but as she stood up and walked out, she realized what Xie Qingran was talking about.
She stood there dumbfounded, staring at Xie Qingran in disbelief: "What?"
"I said I was hungry and I wanted to eat meat."
Xie Qingran remained serious.
What time is it? Why are you still thinking about eating meat?
However, Baozhu couldn't refute Xie Qingran, so she could only reluctantly nod and turn to leave.
In her previous life, Xie Qingran was mistreated in her diet at the manor, as it was said that girls shouldn't eat too much meat. Even after returning to the Xie family, she never had a good day. So, in both her previous and current lives, Xie Qingran never had the freedom to do as she pleased, nor did she ever eat whatever she wanted.
Now, Xie Qingran doesn't care much about anything else, but when it comes to food and drink, she doesn't want to deprive herself in the slightest. She doesn't care that girls shouldn't eat too much meat; she just loves to eat meat!
Soon, Baozhu brought over a large pork knuckle. Now the small kitchen is very obedient, and basically whatever Xie Qingran wants, it will have.
Xie Qingran got up, sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun while eating braised pork knuckle, her eyes squinting happily.
"I was worried about you, but I didn't expect you to have such a good appetite!"
Shen Wenyuan appeared on Xie Qingran's wall like a ghost; it was clear that this kid hadn't gotten in through any legitimate channels.
"Young Master Shen, do you enjoy climbing walls?" Xie Qingran rocked her chair, raising an eyebrow at Shen Wenyuan. "Isn't your behavior rather impolite? Believe me, I can have you arrested with a single order?"
These words were definitely not meant to scare Shen Wenyuan. After all, no matter how powerful the Shen family was, they were just merchants, and no matter how much the Xie family had declined, they were still nobles. Dealing with a mere Shen Wenyuan was not a big problem.
"No!"
"If you arrest me, who will give you delicious osmanthus cake?"
As he spoke, Shen Wenyuan jumped down from the wall and walked over to Xie Qingran. As if by magic, he pulled out two pieces of osmanthus cake wrapped in handkerchiefs from his chest.
Shen Wenyuan had clearly seen Xie Qingran eat several bites of osmanthus cake at the banquet, so she must have liked it.
Looking at the osmanthus cake presented to her, Xie Qingran was stunned for a moment, feeling a mix of emotions. In her previous life, Shen Wenyuan had been the same, always bringing her food and drinks, which made her very grateful and trusting of him. But…
But in the very end, he chose to stand by and do nothing.
This person may seem passionate, but deep down they are cold-hearted.
However, Xie Qingran doesn't care about his coldness now, because she understands that she is cold-hearted too.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Qingran took the osmanthus cake, popped it into her mouth, and nodded in satisfaction: "Delicious."
"If you like, I can send you different pastries every day. I have more than a dozen pastry shops, and I can have whatever you like."
"Xie Qingran, I really want to be your friend."
Shen Wenyuan sat down opposite Xie Qingran, looking at her very seriously with genuine sincerity.
At this moment, Xie Qingran was certain of Shen Wenyuan's sincerity. Unfortunately, sincerity is a fickle thing.
"If Young Master Shen really wants to be friends with me, why not start stockpiling Blood Dragon now? If you really need it in the future, you can come and thank me then."
Xie Qingran ate his osmanthus cake, so naturally she had to give him something in return. In at most another month, General Zhao Yuanqi would return victorious from suppressing the bandits. At that time, there would be many wounded soldiers in the army, and they would definitely need blood-staining powder. In the previous life, the price of blood-staining powder had been rising steadily. If Shen Wenyuan was willing to listen to him, he would definitely make more money in the future.
Although Shen Wenyuan didn't know why Xie Qingran wanted him to stockpile more Blood Dragon's Blood, he still nodded and said, "If I stockpile more Blood Dragon's Blood, will you become my friend?"
"Um."
Xie Qingran nodded indifferently.
She doesn't mind becoming friends with Shen Wenyuan, and is even willing to use everything around her that she can!
She's willing to do anything to make those who bullied her wish they were dead!
"Alright, then I'll buy up all the Bloodstains in the city and bring them under my Shen family's control right now!"
"Qingran, just watch, I promise I won't let you down!"
Shen Wenyuan immediately stood up and strode outside.
Watching Shen Wenyuan's retreating figure, Baozhu looked at Xie Qingran with some concern: "Miss, this young master Shen is quite frivolous. You'd better not get too involved with him. I'm afraid he might cause trouble in the future and implicate you!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran couldn't help but smile.
"If even a little girl like you knows he's not a proper person, how could I possibly care about him?"
"I, Xie Qingran, will only marry Xiao Jue in this life."
Xie Qingran spoke with unwavering conviction.
Regardless of whether these people were considered literary and martial talents in the eyes of the world, to Xie Qingran, they were all utterly despicable.
Only Xiao Jue was the person she truly wanted to marry.
Hongshan was secretly watching all of this, thinking that Xie Qingran had been angered by Xiao Jue and was preparing to find a new husband. However, she never expected that Xie Qingran would think this way.
For some reason, Sequoia felt that Xie Qingran seemed to know that she was here, but he was very good at hiding it!
Back at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Hongshan stood before Xiao Jue and asked abruptly, "Your Highness, what do you think of my lightness skill?"
"How is Xie Qingran?" Xiao Jue completely ignored Hong Shan and kept asking the questions he wanted to know.
Hongshan touched his nose somewhat awkwardly: "Miss Xie is doing quite well now. She eats well, sleeps well, and even had a big braised pork knuckle for lunch. She also wants to be friends with Shen Wenyuan. Young Master, I think she probably didn't take what you said to heart."
What?
Xiao Jue frowned: "You mean, she and Shen Wenyuan are having a passionate affair?"
Well……
Hongshan looked at Xiao Jue with some confusion. Did he just say that?
No, he just said so much, why did Xiao Jue only hear this one sentence?
"We weren't really close, we were just friends."
"That young master of the Shen family was very attentive, but the young lady said that she only wants to marry you."
Hongshan hurriedly tried to explain, afraid of angering Xiao Jue to death.
He stared at Xiao Jue expectantly: "Your Highness?"
